College and university trustees like to brag about their schools' famous alumni, and those of South Florida's institutions of higher learning are no different. Rather than just give you a list of who attended which school, we set up a little match game in which the object is to pair each celebrity alumnus with a course he or she took. Interestingly enough, these celebrities studied topics that foreshadowed their success. For instance, Mark Zupan, the champion quadriplegic wheelchair rugby player featured in the documentary Murderball, actually studied "History of Legless Madmen on Wheels" at Florida Atlantic University a decade before even becoming involved in the sport. Anyway, most of the matchups we've listed should be quite obvious, so give it a try. Hints: Boston Red Sox third baseman and former Florida Marlin Mike Lowell only has one testicle, and Dean Peterson is an internationally known opera singer.
